Once again IdeaStar employees, family and friends shopped ’till they (almost) dropped to make the Christmas season brighter for the children at The Phillis Wheatley Josephine Kohler Academy in Cleveland. A shiny new present was purchased and wrapped for each of the 98 daycare students.

We can just imagine the fun the kids will have opening the presents at their annual Christmas party. We had fun too at our wrapping party. Paper was flying everywhere! The end result was a beautiful pile of presents under the IdeaStar Christmas Tree.

And yes. We were able to wrap the Spud Trooper and Darth Tater before Web developer Mike Balogh could run off with them. Ho! Ho! Ho!
